Publisher's Summary

Bring your home out of the mess it's in and learn how to keep it under control.

"The dirty little secret about most organizing advice is that it's written by organized people," says blogger, speaker, and decluttering expert Dana K. White. "But that's not how my brain works. I'm lost on page three."

Dana blogs at A Slob Comes Clean, chronicling her successes and failures with her self-described "deslobification process". In the beginning she used the name Nony (short for aNONYmous), because she was sharing her deep, dark slob secret. Now she has truly come clean - with not only her real name but the strategies she has developed, tested, and proved in her own home. She has learned what it takes to bring a home out of disaster status, which habits make the biggest and most lasting impact, and how to keep clutter under control.

In How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind, Dana explains that cleaning your house is not a onetime project but a series of ongoing premade decisions. Her reality-based cleaning and organizing techniques debunk the biggest housekeeping fantasies and help listeners learn what really works.

Chapter titles include:

My First Step: Giving Up on the Fantasy

The Worst Thing About the Best Way

Just Tell Me What to Do

Conquering Laundry

Get Dinner on the Table

Putting an End to the Never-Ending Weekly Cleaning Tasks

Don't Get Organized

How to Declutter Without Making a Bigger Mess

Fighting the Perceived Value Battle

But Will It Last?

With a huge helping of empathy and humor, Dana provides a step-by-step process with strategies for getting rid of enormous amounts of stuff in as little time (and with as little emotional drama) as possible.

Even if you do your dishes every day clean your kitchen floor do read this book.It is for readers who are not very organised.If you need ideas to organise your closet and how to make your house Pinterest worthy than this book is not for you.I love one thing about this book is it changes your mindset.

Where does How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my absolute favorites!

What other book might you compare How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind to and why?

It sounds JUST like her podcasts. And I love her podcasts.

Have you listened to any of Dana K. White’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

YES! Her website, and podcasts. This is just slightly more organized.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!!!!

Any additional comments?

So excited that I was able to get this on audio book. (I've just discovered Audible by the way! Where has THAT been my entire life??) I decided to make yesterday (Monday) laundry day. I loved that I was listening to your book (and I ADORE that you're the one reading it) while I was folding and putting away laundry. I laughed hysterically on the part about children never seeming to remember where the hamper is. Oh my goodness gracious. Isn't that the absolute truth. The concept of decluttering turning into a worse mess because you're just relocating the mess instead of purging it. Life changing. I've always thought there was something wrong with me. Why couldn't I have a clean house? Like ever? Why am I always drowning in laundry and dishes???? MAKING myself do the dishes and run the dishwasher every night truly is a game changer. This is my first week attempting a laundry day. Wish me luck. ;) Thanks Dana so much for following your passion and what God has led you to do. You've helped so many women! Amazing what God calls us to do isn't it!?!? Much love!!

"She Gets Me!!"

Finally, a self-help book that actually works. Dana k. White gets down to the nitty-gritty of home management. No sweet talking or deep thinking. This is truly the lazy girl's guide to organization. I love when she gives the Ultimate Number 1 Rule "Just wash the dishes!"
